Tropical Storm Kirk is forming in the open Atlantic

BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) – The most active 5-10 days of the Atlantic season so far continues as Tropical Storm Kirk forms in the Atlantic.

Kirk is expected to continue to strengthen as it moves west and eventually northwest through the open waters of the Atlantic, potentially becoming a major hurricane by the end of the week.

Kirk is currently not expected to have an impact on the US mainland. Storms that form here typically diverge from the United States and either fizzle out or undergo an extratropical transition and are swept far north and east by the jet stream.
